It's that time of year again when I remind all my UK academic colleagues to register with @alcs.co.uk so you get paid when your work is used under licenses like the CLA license, PLR etc. It might be more than you think & it's money you're owed for your work being used! www.alcs.co.uk/how-it-works/

A publishing ecosystem that brings communities of scholars, librarians & OA publishers together to participate in knowledge production, publication, & dissemination is viable. Research cultures would benefit from being more collaborative than competitive. Institutions can help to bridge the gap(s).

Anyone with a Netflix subscription can see why Proquest’s new model will be unacceptable to libraries & users. Disappearing titles, content you don’t actually want, annual fee increases & if you can’t pay you lose everything. Libraries have purchasing power & should collectively reject this model.

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

PubMed is incredibly reliable. And a lot depends on it. It’s an ecosystem built around MEDLINE, the steady feed of new publications…

In addition to being an unnecessary capitulation to a poorly understood threat, it's against the ethics of everything we do as publishers and as researchers. To do this w/o your knowledge and consent is...staggering. How many members will #ASM lose?

Another fascinating read in the latest Clarke & Esposito brief, we really do seem to be on different planets. This time the bit about read and green policies made me raise an eyebrow, I don't see many libraries paying for rights that never should have been taken from authors in the first place

Preprints that are openly licensed eg CC-BY or CC0, are openly licensed. Entities can challenge whether licensing was appropriate, but we will not just remove properly licensed content.

It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov Data that's critical for public health & research. Data paid for by citizens. That the government now censors. "Do not fear those who tell the truth. Fear those who try to hide it. They are willing to sacrifice other things."

Fascinating (long) thread - inside a learned society publisher. Must-read for any librarian who's had dealings with AAAS as a publisher over the years. Shows the tension between not-for-profit and corporate cultures, and the constant pressure to earn revenue.
